Hey,
I have flashed a few days ago my DHD successfully with Jelly Time.
Everything works fine, except for my GPS.
Now I read that it needs a different radio version. No idea why, but I have this:
Baseband version
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
I have now this here concerned:
PD98IMG_12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M
Now there is an IMG file inside. This I put on the SD card and tried to flash it, what did not work.
Now, I kept reading and found that I. (Probably) have no radio-Off and ENG S-Off is with me nothing
With me in the bootloader this is here:
ACE OVT Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
Microp-0438
Radio 26.10.04.03_M
eMMC boot
April 12 2011,00:55:45
What lack I yet for now, what I have to do?
Anyone who wants can answer me in German as PM, that would be good
Yes I believe you don't have radio S-OFF.

Rename file to pd98img and boot to bootloader with power+volume down.
That worked for me

Hey,
thanks for the answers.
I've read your thread here and there and now flashed through my radio. I now have the version, I wanted to have the.
Even my cell phone now displays the GPS icon in the top bar (which has not done it before).
I'll look again tomorrow if I can get a GPS signal, now it's too late.
I'll report back tomorrow.
Hey,
So the flash of the radio was worth it for me. I only made because not my GPS work. Today I put down and out within 1 minute he made the GPS fix.
So ... thanks for your help ... can now be closed

Hi,
After last update in dec/jan from HTC my GPS is most of the time not working at all and sometimes get a fix after a VERY long time. When I get a fix it's ually very unstable and only for a short time.
I have been searching the internett for a soulution with no luck and is patient waiting for Gingerbread to arrive for HD witch I hope can fix the problem since I am not happy to send my phone in for service witch usally takes weeks.
Anyone with a similar problem and hopefully a soulution for this most irritating problem??
Regards..
If your phone had Eng s-off, you could try flashing an alternate radio.
But first of all you could delete / reset the a-gps data, get a fresh fix.
1. Download Gps Status from the market.
2. Enable gps and 3g data or WiFi.
3. Run app.
4. Phone menu / tools / manage a-gps state / reset / download
5. Get a clear view of the sky and first fix shouldn't take too long.
6. After that, repeat every few days, or if you've traveled great distance without using the gps in between.

I was in the same situation after the update in December to version 1.72. The total amount of bugs in that version made me tired of waiting for a new software.
I sat down and read as much as I could about rooting and after installing Android Revolution 4.0 along with a new radio my GPS get a fix all the time.
I'm a noobie, and got it right. It's worth the effort.
Thanks - I will look into this.
I also think this could be the soulution but have been waiting patient for Gingerbread to avoid rooting.
As, in my first post, you said "you already tried this". I assume you were referring to the App & not the radio.?
Edit: just read your next post, if you haven't rooted, well you won't have eng s-off and therefore not able to install a new radio yet....... do the answer would be app only.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yes, sorry.. I see that now.
I did not answer to all your suggestions yesterday because I did not know what "Eng s-off" was so I did not understand....
Today I have read a lot about rooting so I will try this soon. I have not rooted any android devices before but have done it with several Windows Mobile devices so hopefully I will manage this without the biggest problems... time will show
If I only do the downgrade, will I then still have stock rom but the previous version?
Maybe GPS will work ok then??
If I root my phone will I be able to put in new HTC Gingerbread stock rom without problem when it arrives?
Thanks again for reply and help!
So you are talking about downgrade, I assume your build is higher than 1.32? If so, here are a few guides for you, some by the same Dev; If not, The Visionary, S-off & Eng S-off will still be applicable.
If you haven't already, ADB needs to be setup on the PC; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 . There are a few around and may pay to find the latest downloads.
If your phone is carrier branded/regional (1.84) you may have to make a goldcard first. It has been advised by some to have a seperate 2gb sdcard for this, and keep in a safe place, as you may require this if you every ned to downgrade easily in future.
How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE .
One click Radio S-OFF tool including using Visionary tool
One click ENG S-OFF
By having Eng S-off, this will enable you to falsh a different or newer radio, what has the possibility to increase (or even decrease) performance of your gps, 2g/3g, wifi, BT etc, but has risks (read all warnings). Having S-off only will allow you to flash custom ROMs & kernels etc. (Before that, I suggest to use CWM Recovery to backup your existing ROM and keep on your PC as well) so I wouldn't worry about missing out.
Doing all this has it's risks, so if you go down this road, I suggest that you read everything twice, make sure battery is fully charged before hand, and have everything downloaded ready. Read the FAQ in each thread and as much of the recent posts as you can. Most rooting problems experienced seem to be by people not following the guides exactly, being unprepared, and not doing enough reading first....and possibly language barrier.
You could of course wait for the official Gingerbread release, but the radio that may come, may not suit you. So you could be back at square one.
If you use a custom ROM, you will not be able to receive OTA updates, but as I said, the Devs will have something new and updated in no time. Also, if you still use the stock 1.32 with root, you can still recieve OTA updates, but if you do update, you will lose root & most probably the flashed radio, and have to downgrade again.
Edit: If you use a custom ROM, the OP will more than likely state a recommeded radio to flash so it matches the ROM for best overall performance. Obviously, your carrier 2g/3g signal quality will play a big part in this, others have found that trying other radios is better for them.
The options are in your hands. Hope I've helped.
Hello and thanks for great help!
I have now downgraded and installed new Rom Android Revolution and this operation went smooth thanks to you
However I am not able to install new radio, Its problem with ADB and I not able to find a solution.....

Have been working a lot with the phone lately and have now new Revolution Rom and new radio! All working nice and with Gingerbread
BUT - still no GPS fix so I am about to give up, I was really hoping that new rom and radio would solve the problem - but the phone is still not able to get a full fix.
Have also used Faster Fix and GPS Status with no help.
Yesterday after a long time I managed to get a fix on 2 satelites. This is the first time my phone have "seen" a satelite in weeks but 2 is not enough and today no fix again.
Maybe I should install a different radio?
Is it the radio or rom or bought that is controlling the GPS modul?
Or maybe just unroot the phone again and send it back to HTC for replacement??
Really tired of this problem now - I want my GPS back!!!!!

androidforums.com/desire-hd-support-troubleshooting/235833-navigation-gps-problem.html
Hello,
thanks again for all god help and advices!
I have now done "everything" and gone from no GPS at all to a GPS fix in about 10 minutes under perfect conditions - a fix that seems very weak/unstable - witch means that the GPS is still not working at all for normal use
I have;
Downgraded
Installed Revolution HD 4.0 rom with radio _12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M
Changed radio today to _12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3
Tried different solutions as sim card out/in, GPS status and Faster Fix...
Latest radio have got very positive feedback from other users who had the same problem as me, several tells that they had no GPS and now get a fix in seconds...
I also have a Xperia Mini and a Galaxy Tab - they also get a fix in seconds...
For my DHD that is not the case and I feel I have come to the end of the road and that this problem is not meant to be solved.....
Maybe it is hardware related?? Or another radio will do the job???
I dont know.
At least a have learned a lot about rooting and other Android stuff
Thanks to all of you for taking time and trying to help me and for this good forum - I really appreciate that - THANKS
Regards
No problem. All I can suggest is try a few more radios and don't forget to use gps status and clear & dl fresh agps data each time. If you have then tried everything & still no go, ..... back to HTC. Best of luck.
Edit: if you need to return it, you may not need to downgrade back to stock / branded. It has been reported that these are only software mods that don't void warranty. I personally would return it to original or at least try before returning.

Note: Once flashed, this radio will show up as 12.35d.60.140fP_26.08.03.07_M
updated my radio to this and no difference
Hi Everyone,
In dire need of some help/advice...
I flashed the KF1 radio for my I9020a and lost 3G signal. It would connect on Edge sometimes but very infrequently. Several XDA members told me to try flashing any other radio with fastboot. I tried and still have no signal. Brainmaster told me to flash a radio that previously worked, pull the battery, reboot and wait for a few hours. I even tried restoring to a previous backup to no avail.
In recovery, I noticed that there was a Wimax partition - Does my phone think it's a Nexus S 4G now? Is that causing the problem?
What can I do?!
Did you flash a radio that wasn't specific to your device? Do you think that is a possibility.

I assume it's a possibility - I've done it multiple times before but I guess I could have been half-asleep this time...
I think that's. T-Mobile radio u flashed... if anything pull the 3 files from the efs folder and move them into the root of your SD Card but you need Root explorer... u can find the file in 4shared.com version 2.16 ... but make sure u flash a different radio before moving them... the files u need to move are

It's here.
i NEED help
ok heres what i did i wanted to upgrade my phone to the newest version GB 2.3.4.So what i did was download the update and i followed the installation steps i successfully updated to Gb 2.3.4. so like i was checking how it look and the new feature but when i wanted to go on the android market i went to setting and turn on the wifi and it said Error and then i tried the Bluetooth and it said Error also so then i put my SIMs card in and i was like imma use DATA then and when i restarted my phone it had service but no HSPA+ or Edge or GPRS so like i just hatted my phone from their so then i was trying to root it but iddnt know how to do that so like i read this website and i got the UPDATE.APP or 2.2.2 AT&T did the same steps of the installation of BG 2.3.4 and it went to the process and 1/2 stepp good it passed and then 2/2 also passed it installed it and when it said Successively Installed it said Restarting and the scrren turn of and it vibrated and thats all that happened and i left it like that for the whole days and nothing happened
Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
i fist installed the GB 2.3.4 {U8800V100R001C00B518G001} but i did not like it and i installed this ROM {V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTC185D002} thats 2.2.2

I haven't had time to install and check out the ROM for my impulse yet. I'm just worried about 4g and wifi connectivity. With my job, having data service on my phone is a must. I know that was a problem with a different ROM for this phone... everything worked except for data and wifi. I guess I'm a little shy to try it as there have been reports of not being able to revert back to Froyo.
Well so far its working on on the first testers phone the second Guy said he is gonna do it when he gets a chance to check it out so hopefully his turns out good

Useless Posts
Why do you guys even keep posting on here with useless information.... I keep
seeing the post over and over about the link to the GB download, and how it worked for 1 guy "who is HE ?" but you do not post the link up to the source.
Then somebody says "oh yeah, i am gonna try it later. will let you know how it goes"...... Then nobody ever posts back their progress. Some people come on here with a purpose of helping Dev's or other people to mod their phones.
If you are not going to follow through with your posts, or post useless information
with no links to what you are talking about..... DON'T POST anything at all.

I downloaded from a chinese web a stock rom for u8800pro with baseband 203026 (same as u8800-51). I flashed it, and then restored all using clockworkmod files from u8800-51 (also, I replaced all files in pink screen and put the original image files from u8800-51). It worked great! my phone is now u8800-51 froyo again. But I still got no 3g.. Can this be possible? I replaced every file! whats the problem then?
The u8800pro stock rom with u8800-51 baseband is here: http://dl.dbank.com/c0i0gctow9
Sorry if this is another useless post. Now I know I won't upgrade knowing that downgrading won't give you your 4g back. I really wish I could afford to get an Atrix. Thanks for the useful posts about downgrading.
Hi all,
I am in need of some help I had a Branded DHD on 3, which I unlocked for my DAD who is on Vodafone it was working for a good 3 weeks then either said no sim inserted or lost signal a simple power off and back on seemed to fix it.
However more recently it has given up all together no signal and now wi-fi issues.
The phone was rooted and running ICS The Collective rom , my Dad did not like it so I put on a sense 3.5 rom and as above was running no problem up until now can anyone advise me if indeed it does need a new radio or is there a simple fix?
I have searched long and hard for a solution but nothing if anyone could help it would be great !!:good:

You need to flash the new radio through bootloader, not cwm. You will need to plug it into your computer and follow the guide on how to flash radio somewhere in the forum

Does this mean its un rooted again? so I will now need to start again?
It's not un-rooted but S-ON means the security flag is ON. You need to use the AAHK to install an ENG H-Boot with S-OFF, if you want it. It's not really necessary though. The easiest way to flash a radio is through AAHK, if you have no experience of going it before. Read through the AAHK manual fully before doing it. You can't just flash radios in recovery.
It seems you already have the latest radio from the last world wide update for the DHD. I'm going to link you to a newer version, try that and tell me if it fixes your issues. If that doesn't work, I'll link you to an older version which might work. Radios work differently for everyone, depending on the frequencies used in their countries. So it's not a case of 'newer is better' for radios.
New radio (12.68.60.29_26.16.04.09_M) - http://goo.gl/V06BH
Old radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M) - http://goo.gl/jnxBx
Just one thing, BEFORE you flash any of the above radios, just download the corresponding RIL for your 26.14.04.28 radio and flash it in recovery. Run your phone for some time and see if it makes a difference. If you're running a Sense ROM, you need to flash the corresponding RIL for a radio, not so for AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod/AOKP. Similarly, if you flash any of the above radios, flash their corresponding RILs too (I can't find a link to the RIL for the newer radio, but you can flash one for the older radio). You can get RILs from the link below.

hi thanks very much! I booted into recovery earlier on today and it said ''Safe Mod''
I then flashed IceColdSandwich summer edition v8.2 because my phone would just sit with a black screen... and nothing still just sits on a black screen now flashed 3 roms still nothing.
I can go into recovery and boot loader but thats it and most of these procedures require the phone to be on I cant get to that stage :crying:
I have flashed many phones from HTC Hero, S2, HD2 etc I now own an HTC One X all find but this DHD is the first one I ever sim unlocked via unlockme.com (or something similar cannot remember)
So really at a loss now any suggestions anyone? :fingers-crossed:
Please help me sat down to fix this today .... I've boot this into Fastboot to find my boot into recovery is now missing so I can no way boot phone or into recovery (I think)
Can anyone give me a link etc to fix this? as most guides requires phone to be on??

What you are trying to ask is that you are unable to boot into recovery? have you lost your recovery? or you are not having an option in bootloader to go into recovery?
Have you done the superCID thing? I don't know how to do it exactly but there are guides. Search for them. I'm guessing that may be your issue.

Also does the S-Off mean that if i want to root the phone, i would just need to flash the superuser.zip? or what???:silly:
Or Where will i continue from in case i want to root the phone. Also my device is "M4G2DE".

Those are two pretty good guides. Honestly you have to first read, read and read some more to understand what you have and what can be done with it. Also in development there are answers to your questions under the stickys. Updating your phone would more than likely put it back to full stock status. Also why upgrade to an already 2 yr old software version.
I would recommend fully rooting your phone and the cyanogen method was easier to me. Also remember to google like crazy....

Those are two pretty good guides. Honestly you have to first read, read and read some more to understand what you have and what can be done with it. Also in development there are answers to your questions under the stickys. Updating your phone would more than likely put it back to full stock status. Also why upgrade to an already 2 yr old software version.
I would recommend fully rooting your phone and the cyanogen method was easier to me. Also remember to google like crazy....

Thanks but i read a guide which said that the emmc chips in the mytouch 4g normally corrupts after wiping or factory reset. So i am a little confused. There have been many instances that people have bricked their mytouch 4g.

Why do you have two of the same thread?
Listen, here is the deal with the eMMC. Some are faulty, some aren't. If you have a crappy one, flashing CAN speed up the process of the chip giving out. If the chip does goes kaput, though, it always was. The only "bad" chips are the ones that fail. I and many others one here have a glacier with the type of chip people ignorantly refer to as "bad." I have flashed hundreds, perhaps thousands of times and it still works just fine. Understand?

confused? I am glad to see you rooted and if you used the method by CM then you are also SIM unlocked. Now stroll over to Development section and you can either flash the 2.3 stock rom or my suggestion the 4.2.2 rom by cnote74.
Your device is now freely yours!

I am having a mytouch 4g now running stock rom 2.1. The phone came with S-Off. So if i download the 2.3 update, would it turn my phone back to S-on??? - MY ANSWER WOULD BE YES.... WHY RISK IT
Also does the S-Off mean that if i want to root the phone, i would just need to flash the superuser.zip? or what???:silly: - YOU WOULD NEED A CUSTOM RECOVERY TO FLASH ANYTHING
Or Where will i continue from in case i want to root the phone. Also my device is "M4G2DE".

I agree with this one. This is how I got my MT4G rooted and custom roms installed just about a week ago.
